The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3275 advisory.

The python-dns package contains the dnslib module that implements a DNS client and additional modules that     define certain symbolic constants used by DNS, such as dnstype, dnsclass and dnsopcode.

Security Fix(es):

* dnspython: denial of service in stub resolver (CVE-2023-29483)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
